UK lawmakers seize control of Brexit process from Theresa May
London (CNN)British lawmakers have temporarily seized control of the Brexit process from Prime Minister Theresa May, in a rare move that puts lawmakers in the driving seat.
MPs defied the government on Monday evening to vote 329 to 302 in favor of an amendment giving them control of Parliament’s agenda on Wednesday and clearing the way for a series of alternative votes to May’s widely criticized withdrawal agreement with the European Union.
Come Wednesday, lawmakers could vote on as many as seven different options — which might include a second referendum, crashing out with no deal, and a Norway-style deal with the EU, giving the UK full access to the single market and the European Free Trade area.
